Has anyone had this?? What were your symptoms?
Ive had multiple lots of faint tests over the last few months and dr is investigating this.

Have you had a blood test? Or a scan?

@dippyegg32 Ive got a blood test this week that's what the dr out in the form

Ok well it's taken 11 weeks for me to get a negative blood result (

I had it for months! Medical management failed then still getting positive test for weeks and ended up having MVA. I’d push for scans / tests x

@Amz6219 @dippyegg32
Sorry to hear you've both gone through that :(

We're your tests very faint?

I've had faint tests over the last 2 months thought I had an early loss around Christmas but didn't test much in between as went fainter, felt sick on Wednesday so tested and it's been the same again but I didn't bleed in between at all and pretty sure I didn't ovulate (doing opks and also my temp stayed steady) so not sure if they would have been faint the whole time or if I've been unlucky and had back to back early losses with no bleeding. Dr wants to see if it's that hence the blood test then possibly a scan if dr thinks it's needed.

Thank you both for sharing your experiences 💖

Mine did get fainter and fainter but then just wouldn’t go negative. My blood HCG was stuck around 85 I think so then as it’d been so long I decided to go with MVA.

I would probably call your local EGU / EPU because it could be retained products but could very well be a new pregnancy and they’d need to scan to check either way - if you explain the situation I’d expect them to suggest you go in.

Sorry you’re going through it, it’s an awful time that I wouldn’t wish on anyone! On the positive side I’m now 6 weeks, just hoping everything goes ok! xx
